John Bolton put out a slanderous book claiming Trump was begging China to help him get re-elected as well as a bunch of other likely fabricated stories about the president. Former Press Secretary Sarah Sanders saw this and released an excerpt from her upcoming book that lets you see just what kind of person John Boltin really is.
“Full excerpt from my forthcoming book “Speaking for Myself,” about John Bolton, a man drunk on power who ultimately betrayed America when he didn’t get his way… “That evening the United States hosted the reciprocal dinner at the Winfield House, the US Ambassador’s residence…Earlier in the trip, the Winfield House had been the site of a nasty fight between senior White House officials. To prepare for every foreign trip we had daily operations meetings and briefings leading up to the trip itself…”
“The UK state visit had lots of moving parts and one area of concern was that there would not be a presidential motorcade to and from most events, because the president would predominantly be traveling on Marine One. The UK security team was allowing one small staff motorcade…and based on their protocol they’d designated it for National Security Advisor John Bolton. In one of the prep briefings Deputy Chief of Staff Dan Walsh asked Bolton’s team to be sure to wait on the senior White House staff vehicles traveling to the Winfield House…”
“so they could be part of Bolton’s motorcade and not get stuck in traffic. Bolton’s team acknowledged the request. As he did on many of our foreign trips, Bolton had a separate agenda and often arrived and departed on a different plane because he didn’t want to travel…on Air Force One with the President and his team. Bolton apparently felt too important to travel with the rest of us. It was a running joke in the White House. As we were ready to depart for the Winfield House we loaded onto a small black bus…”
“Onboard were Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, Acting Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney, Senior Advisor Stephen Miller, Senior Advisor Dan Scavino, Walsh and me. Based on US protocol, Mnuchin, Mulvaney and Walsh all outranked Bolton…Mnuchin, one of the highest-ranking officials in government, far outranked him. We waited at the hotel but there was no sign of Bolton or his motorcade. After a while we gave up and headed to the Winfield House to meet the president…”
“While en route, UK police directed us to pull to the side of the road because someone was coming through…we looked over to see who it was and sure enough here came Bolton and his motorcade. We waited and watched as Bolton sped by and left us in the dust…The discussion on the bus quickly moved from casual chit chat to how arrogant and selfish Bolton could be, not just in this moment but on a regular basis. If anyone on the team should have merited a motorcade it was Mnuchin, but he was a team player…”
“Bolton was a classic case of a senior White House official drunk on power, who had forgotten that nobody elected him to anything. Often Bolton acted like he was the president, pushing an agenda contrary to President Trump’s…When we finally arrived at the Winfield House, Mick Mulvaney, typically laid-back and not one to get caught up in titles or seniority, confronted Bolton and unleashed a full Irish explosion on him. He lit into him in a way I hadn’t seen him do to anyone before…”
“Mick made clear he was the chief of staff and Bolton’s total disregard for his colleagues and common decency was unacceptable and would no longer be tolerated. “Let’s face it John,” Mick said. “You’re a f—— self-righteous, self-centered son of a b——! That epithet really didn’t have much to do with the motorcade, but was the culmination of months of Bolton thinking he was more important and could play by a different set of rules than the rest of the team. Bolton backed down and stormed off…The rest of us looked on and nodded in approval, proud of Mick for standing up for us. Mick even got a few high fives from officials thrilled someone had put Bolton in his place.”
It seems Bolton had his own agendas and wanted to be president himself, no wonder Trump and him butted heads and he was removed. Bolton was just likely bitter that he lost the power that he had under Trump and was lashing out in his book.
Mini Mike B. is still looking for a box to stand up and find his lost boyfriend, I am not sure if his boyfriend is Latino, Blackie, Palomino, Albino and or Extraterrestrial, lol..
Oh, Sarah, unless the author of this piece made mistakes copying that extract,, please get this edited before you publish. It should be “No wonder Trump and he butted heads”, not “Trump and him”
I do not believe in any words this traitor has to say…he admitted that he would lie and he certainly has…
Many people ask why the President brought Bolton on to begin with considering everyone knew his modus operandi. I think you have to understand the President’s corporate background. When a company gets taken over, it is generally smart to keep a few people around who know what is going on. Even though this group may not have the same opinions, it pays to look at all sides before making an informed decision. It is not good management to surround yourself with a bunch of “yes” people. It is my opinion the President tried to do just this, even with some of the “swamp creatures,” but the mistake he made in his political infancy, was assuming after an informed decision was made, everyone would row the same direction. Shocker!!!
I believe the President realizes this now, and it is one of the reasons he is cleaning house (just a little pun). Bolton was part of the trash removed. It is amazing that he has accomplished everything he has with the ‘trash’ that has been working against him.
